Do you love macaroons? Ever tried Filipino macaroons? And oh, if you are a coconut lover, this treat will break your diet! It’s okay. Everybody loves this.

… even a nephew of mine requested this for his birthday instead of a birthday cake. Seriously.

Ingredients

1 pk

(about 400 grams) Sweetened Coconut Flakes

1 c

butter, softened

1⁄2 c

brown sugar

eggs

1 cn

(14 ounces) condensed milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F.

Soften butter (set outside the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes), add sugar and beat (using electric mixer – if no electric mixer, manually whisk strongly) until it reaches a creamy texture (about 2 minutes).

Mix in condensed milk until well blended.

Fold in coconut flakes and mix well.

Place small paper cups in a baking sheet with sides without leaving any space in between. Fill with batter two-thirds full.

Bake for 20 minutes or until color turns golden brown.

Serve at room temperature or chilled.

This dessert or snack tastes better a day or 3 later.

Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for later use. Thaw overnight.
